said the best part of the job "by far" is
creating opportunities for local youth.
"People here in Hawaii, some are strug-
gling to survive," Duman said. "So many
people are leaving the islands for the U.S.
continent to make a living."
Duman wants the next generation of
Hawaiians to know they can stay and have
a future and shows them one way through
internships at the park. Duman is excited
about a new educational program the park
is developing in the Hawaiian language, or
'olelo Hawaii, which Duman didn't learn
growing up but did as an adult.
"It's not just for us here. It's for serving
that community as a whole," Duman said
of the lessons for immersive language
students. "Hopefully that can be an ex-
ample or integration for other parks
sites who want to be able to connect
with their Native communities."
Travelers can learn more about Na-
tive Hawaiians and Hawaii at several
other National Park Service sites across
the islands.

Other park service sites include Pearl

and
Hono'uli'uli, a national historic site that is
not yet open to the public, which will share
the history of Japanese incarceration on
the islands during World War II.

"After we did that original work in
2016, in 2019 we actually went back and
used that tool," Weber said. "Each year
we've been able to go back in and re-
treat those areas to bring them up to
where the target should have been."
In 2020, the project benefited from a
partnership with the Eugene Water and
Electric Board, which was building a pow-
er line corridor nearby. More than 1,000
large trees were harvested from the corri-
dor and used in the project.
After harvest, 17,000 cubic yards of
berms and fill material were removed
from the valley bottom and redistribut-

ed to adjacent fill areas. Contractors
then placed more than 900 pieces of
large wood throughout the project area.
In 2021, contractors removed and re-
distributed 20,000 cubic yards of berms
to fill incised portions of Deer Creek to
elevations matching surrounding valley
bottom before then placing 525 pieces of
large wood in the project area.
'If you build it, they will come'
Weber said there are already suc-
cesses.
High winter flows have deposited
gravel around logjams and over the
floodplain. Multiple channels and deep
pools have formed. Beaver and vegeta-
tion are flourishing around the site.
During fall 2017, spring Chinook
salmon were seen spawning in Deer
Creek for the first time since the early
1990s.
"If you build it, they will come," We-
ber said.
The project's fourth and final phase
covers the last quarter mile of the
creek where it reaches the McKenzie
River.
The area, visible from the McKenzie
River Trail footbridge over Deer Creek
and from various locations along Deer
Creek Road, will be closed between
June 13 and July 22, according to a U.S.
Forest Service news release. The clo-
sure covers about 1.5 miles of Forest
Road 2654 (Deer Creek) from the junc-
tion of Highway 126 north on Road
2654 to Road 2655. The closure in-
cludes both sides of the road along that
stretch.
The news release said visitors to the
area may notice a high level of sediment
in Deer Creek and the McKenzie River
downstream of the waterways' junction.
High sediment levels are expected to de-
crease once the work is completed.
The McKenzie River Trail, closed since
the 2021 Knoll Fire burned about two
miles of it, will open again once the habi-
tat restoration project is completed, ac-
cording to the Forest Service news re-
lease. One mile of the trail will be repaired
by volunteers, and the other will be re-
stored using equipment from the Deer
Creek restoration project.
